Chapter 3509 Orphans of Martyrs
Classmate Le Xiao, who was drafting the company's articles of association in the "Langhuan Palace", monitored the surroundings of the paradise without her consciousness. She didn't really know General Qin's arrival at first, but she had good hearing and heard the doorbell.
The ringing of the doorbell also interrupted her concentrated work. She separated her consciousness and ran up to take a look at the car outside the door and the people in it.
She saw General Qin one step ahead of Brother Fu. Before Brother Fu called, she took action first and put the draft into a wooden box and put it on the table with the Four Treasures of the Study.
After clearing the tabletop, he immediately ran to the "Jiudetang" to add charcoal to the brazier under the square bed, and used small techniques to light a fire and burn the charcoal vigorously.
When she was stoking the charcoal fire, she received a call from Brother Fu. After answering the call, she waited for more than a minute for the charcoal in the brazier to start burning, and then stuffed it under the bed to smoke.
After that, he ran out of the second courtyard, went to the entrance of the first courtyard, and opened the east auxiliary gate. Without waiting for the guests at the door, he turned around and returned to the courtyard, went to the kitchen to pick up a pot of hot water and returned to "Jiudetang".
She enlarged the kettle on the west side of the case, then went to the back hall, found some wild fruits from the storage box, filled a jade preservation box, and put a few bags of nuts in a cloth bag, and also filled a preservation box. box.
After finding fruits and nuts suitable for entertaining guests, Leyun took out two round bamboo baskets and put two baskets of fruits, and put two plates of nuts on wooden plates. They moved them to the long table in front of the outer hall and placed them on the table before going to the eaves. Wait.
She finished several things in a row, and Brother Fu, accompanied by General Qin and his party, had just entered the Chuihua Gate.
It wasn't that Brother Fu was walking slowly, nor was it that General Qin was slowing down while admiring the scenery along the road. The real reason was that the little boy was holding him back.
Brother Fu accompanied General Qin to the east courtyard. At first, he was traveling at a normal speed. After walking about ten meters, he found that the little boy was obviously unable to keep up and slowed down calmly.
General Qin also slowed down, and the guard and driver behind him slowed down to match the little boy's speed.
The adults slowed down, and the little boy could relax. Even if they walked slowly, the little boy was so tired that he was sweating as soon as he walked across the lawn and crossed the stone bridge on the ring canal.
Brother Fu and General Qin slowed down their pace again, taking one step slowly and three steps slowly, and moved forward slowly.
The group of people walked to the platform and rested for a while. They waited for the little boy to catch his breath before climbing up the stairs. They rested once before boarding the platform.
After climbing the steps, the little boy was panting from exhaustion. Brother Fu and General Qin took a rest again, waiting for the little boy to regain his breath before entering the hospital.
None of the four grown men hugged the little boy from beginning to end, and they let him go on his own throughout the whole process.
Considering the little boy's physical ability, he passed through the hanging flower door and entered the second courtyard. Brother Fu accompanied General Qin and his party through the corridor in the atrium to go to the bedroom.
The corridor of the atrium is the straight line with the "shortest straight line segment between two points" between the upper room and the hanging flower door. If you take the corridor, the length of the road will be increased by a quarter.
In winter, the annual herbaceous plants wither and age, the deciduous plants have lost all their leaves, and the vegetation is barren. The grass in the atrium of the paradise has been mowed, and the old plants have been cleared away, making it very tidy.
The evergreen plants in the courtyard are still green, especially the bamboo and the eternal star tree, which are straight and graceful.
The scenery in the courtyard caught the little boy's attention. He looked around as he walked, moving slower, which also relieved his tension.
General Qin saw the little girl waiting on the colonnade from a distance. He did not say anything and took the little boy for a walk along the stone road in the courtyard.
Brother Fu is the most qualified guide. He walked to Danbi in front of the lower room door and slowed down again, paused, and then climbed the steps.
General Qin put his hand around the little boy's shoulders to prevent him from falling unsteadily.
The little boy climbed one step at a time. After climbing the nine steps, beads of sweat appeared on his pale face and his cheeks turned red.
The four grown men all heard the little boy's breathing, but no one asked him if he was tired or if he could still walk. They just stood in the colonnade.
When the little boy was breathing smoothly, Brother Fu accompanied the person to turn to the right and walk towards the little girl waiting in the colonnade.
The young guard and the driver discovered that the little girl was not wearing a wide-sleeved dress. There were no wide sleeves to cover her body, and she looked even more slender and compact.
The closer he got to the little girl, the slower the boy walked.
Le Yun stood in the corridor, watching the five people, four large and one small, getting closer and closer. When they came closer, she smiled helplessly: "Second Uncle Qin, this will not happen again."
"The situation is special. This time, my second uncle did something wrong. I will send you two sheep later." Needless to say, General Qin also knew that the little girl was protesting against his method of beheading first and then showing off.
"Am I such an easy person to bribe?" Le Yun rolled her eyes quietly, half-bent down, reached out and gently pinched the face of the little boy next to General Qin: "Little Zaizai didn't let the uncles carry him, he himself He walked in, he is very strong-willed and a great little man!”
The little boy shrank, but did not hide or make a sound.
When General Qin saw that the little guy was not afraid of the little girl, he was half relieved. Leyun didn't wait for General Qin to introduce the little boy. She reached out and picked up one of the little boy's thin little hands, put it in her palm, and led him away: "You are tired from walking. Come sit in the room first."
Someone's hand was soft and warm. The little boy didn't struggle and followed the person's instructions obediently.
"Sure enough, it's the little girl that attracts the children." General Qin had a smile in his eyes. Oh, this little brat looks weak and helpless. He has a stubborn temper and doesn't get close to anyone.
"The little girl's relationship with children is indeed very good." Brother Fu also agreed.
General Qin nodded, followed by the guard, driver and Xiaofu into the "Jiude Hall", passed through the bead curtain, walked to the fourth bed, spread out, took off his shoes, went up, and sat around the kang table.
The little boy was very smart and followed suit. He also took off his shoes, climbed up, and sat next to General Qin.
General Qin and the little boy sat on the east side, the guard and the driver sat on the west side, and Brother Fu sat on the south side.
After the guests sat on the heated Kang, Le Yun first made a pot of tea and gave the guest and Brother Fu a cup each. Then she went back to put the fruit basket and nuts on the table. She then got on the square bed and sat on the north side of the Kang table. .
There are three kinds of fruits, one basket contains lychees, and the other basket contains Baimu Tong fruits and cold rice dumplings. The fruits seem to have just been picked from the tree, very fresh.
"There are such fresh lychees in the middle of winter. The things in the little girl's hands are indeed good things." General Qin was surprised when he looked at the basket of lychees with fresh leaves and red leaves.
With advanced technology, it is not impossible to preserve lychees until winter. During the Chinese New Year period, fresh lychees can be seen in major cities.
However, whether they are on the market or the kind of well-preserved lychees specially supplied to the back office by merchants, they are all preserved in the low-temperature warehouses of preservation companies and are far from fresh.
Seeing the little boy staring at the red lychees, General Qin reached out and took two for him: "You don't have to be afraid of others here. As long as there is one on the table, you can take whatever you want to eat."
The little boy gently looked at the good-looking and... friendly person, and said softly, "Hmm."
The guard and driver were not polite and each took lychees to eat.
The lychees that the little girl brought to entertain guests were larger than those on the market. They were seedless lychees. When the shell was peeled off, the smell was refreshing and they tasted even more delicious.
General Qin tasted one and thought for a moment. This lychee tasted better than the one he had eaten that was rumored to have sold for hundreds of thousands!
"Little girl, is this a new breed?"
"Yes, this kind of lychee is different from the lychee varieties in tropical areas. It is not resistant to humidity and heat and is more suitable for planting in cold and temperate zones."
"Cold-resistant lychee? This is a big treasure, plant it quickly."
"Uncle Qin, you are overthinking this thing. This thing is very picky. At present, only the climate, environment and altitude in my hometown of Shennong Mountain meet its growing conditions, but it cannot meet its lighting requirements. Even if it is planted, it will survive. And if it can bear fruit, the yield must be extremely low and the taste must be worse.”
"How squeamish." Qin Jiang gave up the idea of encouraging the little girl to promote planting, ate another August fried egg, and returned to the topic: "Little girl, my second uncle will tell you about this child..."
The little boy has no blood relationship with the Qin family. If you have to ask what the relationship is, it is that the child's father is an elite subordinate of a capable general of General Qin.
That elite is anti-narcotics policeman C, who has died, and the little boy is the orphan of a martyr!
The little boy’s father was a hero who sacrificed his life in anti-drug operations, and his grandfather was also a hero, who died in flood fighting and disaster relief.
The little boy’s surname is Li, and his father named him Li Chengqi. He was born on May 30, 2017, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and is only two months older than Leshan.
When Xiao Chengqi's grandfather died, his father was still in high school, and his father died on the anti-drug front line two years ago.
Li Chengqi's home is in a small county in Province G. After he was born, his grandmother collapsed due to excessive exercise and fell ill and returned home.
His mother had a heart disease and was in poor health after giving birth to him. After his father died and lost his lover, his health worsened.
Just a few months ago, little Chengqi was injured in an accident at school and was sent to the hospital. His mother was so angry when dealing with the child that she suffered a heart attack and could not be saved, so she abandoned the child.
Qin Jiang talked about the little boy's life experience. Le Yun listened carefully. When Qin Jiang explained the reasons for the little boy's accident, she also guessed the reason. She couldn't do without XYB Ling and asked her own question: "What is the identity of the child?" Not made public? ”
"No, in order to protect the family of Anti-Narcotics Police Officer C from harm, the list of Anti-Narcotics Police Officer C is kept confidential. Only internal personnel within the system can check it. After Comrade Li died, the local personnel in his hometown only knew that he died in the line of duty. .”
Qin Jiang stretched his hands to the little boy's back and gently embraced the child, his eyes full of regret: "This child is introverted, very considerate and sensible. He knew that his mother had a bad heart, and he never told his mother when he was wronged, until the incident happened. His mother only knew about it.”
The little boy remained silent, only tilted his head, and unconsciously grasped the corners of his clothes with his fingers. When he heard General Qin talking about his mother's death again, big tears rolled out of his eyes, and they fell down. On his chest.
